Recent studies have shown that the short term prognosis of critically ill cancer patients is determined by the severity of the acute complication leading to ICU admission, but not by the underlying malignancy. Long-term prognosis of cancer patients surviving the ICU however is given by the underlying disease and comparable to cancer patients never admitted to the ICU. In…

BMJ Case Rep. 2019 Sep 30;12(9): Authors: Heunis JC, Cheah JW, Sabnis AJ, Wustrack RL Abstract A 21-year-old man underwent a joint-preserving posterior acetabular resection of metastatic osteosarcoma using a three-dimensional (3D) printed model and intraoperative navigation. The combined application of these advanced technologies can allow for surgical planning of osteotomies involving complex anatomy and help guide resections intraoperatively. They can maximise the achievement of negative oncological margins, preservation of native hip stability and critical neurovascular structures, and optimal postoperative function in an…

BMJ Case Rep. 2019 Oct 10;12(10): Authors: Cunha R, Godinho J, Inácio M, Galriça Neto I Abstract Leptomeningeal carcinomatosis (LC) is rare in solid tumours, particularly in gastrointestinal cancers. While other treatment strategies remain undefined, inclusion of palliative care is essential due to its very poor prognosis and variable manifestations. We report a case of oesophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma, previously submitted to surgery and chemotherapy, diagnosed with LC and followed in a palliative care unit. Treatment was comanaged with the oncology team and a palliative approach was decided. In this…
